How can I incorporate this clay into my soaps? Can I just add it at trace?

Great in mud masks...

I use it for my mud masks (and certain scrubs), usually to 'cut' another clay (green, rose, sea) because the properties of the other clay are too strong, for example. I do use Kaolin clay on its own as well - it is nice and gentle and a great 'mud' in its own right.

Very Fine

I use this in my shaving soap. It adds just a little bit of extra slip. This really is a VERY fine powder. Be careful when opening/closing your bag or container.

Very nice

I love this clay, along with Bentonite for use in baking-soda free deodorants. Works like a charm.

Strong bath bombs!

Just like Cathy said in her review, I couldn't make a bath bomb to save my life. I added 1/8 part kaolin clay (2 cup sodium bicarbonate, 1 cup citric Acid and 1/4 cup of the clay). Wow!!!! I can make bath bombs now and they hold up nicely in the stainless molds!
